    Something on two-wheels now - I've been riding a Turbocharged Harley V-Rod Nightrod for a few years now, and am thinking of changing it up.

    WIf you ride, what do you ride?

    Those V-Rods were certainly a different beast for HD, but they are awesome powerful - Porsche built engine and, for what they are, very affordable since they weren't AS WELL received as other HDs - I like it... one day I'll get to that powerful a machine. :P

    I ride a 2005 Sporty, 1200C - its heavily modified with stage 1 and cams... and just 10+ years of ownership; you know the story, we change everything because we can. :P

    Keep the rubber down, and I'm all about anything on two wheels - so long as yer fists are in the wind.

    Not something I ever got into, mainly lack of time and money. Only bikes I've had have been 100% human powered. :)

    Mine is a bit more powerful that stock thanks to the Trask Turbo
    installation.

    Torque is up about 60-70% over stock, and rear wheel hp is up 50% from the stock at the engine claim.

    The Turbo Kit is pretty low key visually.

    Other than a idle the exhaust noise is a give away.

    What is fabulous is when given the stick, it simply launches and will hang
    with the crotch-rocket bikes. That really throws them off.

    I had a Laverda Jota, but myhands would go to sleep from the buzz. None of that with the Turbo V-Rod.
